View it as a way to practice your techniques. One thing I did in intensive speech therapy was just make tons of phone calls to random stores. I'm 27, and we're similar here - but seriously, is thi...

In my case I barely stutter when I'm talking to someone who I'm very attached to. But I stutter a lot when I'm excited, nervous or ashamed (whoever I'm talking to) So I just try to stay calm, and not ...
